You have to find a smart bypass among the tough ways. There’s definitely a smart bypass in every difficult route.
When people send thousands of emails or cold DMs, they expect to get at least some replies so they can warm up those leads.
“Getting replies” is very important from your target audience. Maybe 99% of them will not buy, but still, it’s significant, and it makes you feel great.
What if you send 100 emails/cold DMs and get no reply vs. you get 10 replies with “NO”?
10 rejections are better than no replies.
Can you imagine it’s actually your mind hinting at something about “communication”?
Yeah, communication is much needed to start and continue a relationship.
Whether you’re emailing or DMing, you just need communication at the first stage.
As I said, every difficult route has a smart bypass.
Now, go to a community and ask an interesting question instead of sending DMs to strangers.
I posted a single-sentence question in a few groups and on Reddit.
I generated almost 247 comments. 247 comments mean I have 247 opportunities to start a conversation.
If one single-line question can open 247 chances to start your communication, then why are you wasting the most valuable time sending DMs to strangers?
I don’t get it; hence I don’t do it.
